I'm trying to fix an MS Access Query that has begun failing. It's a system built by someone else who left a couple years ago, so I'm working backwards to understand it. The part that's failing is a query that joins two other sub queries.
If I run a 'SELECT *' on the query joins, it returns data without any problems. However, as soon as I try to define a specific field, it fails with the unhelpful message "Query is too complex".
So, this returns data no problem:
SELECT * FROM 530a_WIPIncomeShareByResource
INNER JOIN 510_AllInvoicesCreditsInvWIP
ON [530a_WIPIncomeShareByResource].WIPDocApplicable
= [510_AllInvoicesCreditsInvWIP].No_
WITH OWNERACCESS OPTION;
However, if I define any field from either of the two queries in the join, then it errors, giving me the "Query is too complex" error. So, this fails, for example:
SELECT [510_AllInvoicesCreditsInvWIP].Status
FROM 530a_WIPIncomeShareByResource
INNER JOIN 510_AllInvoicesCreditsInvWIP
ON [530a_WIPIncomeShareByResource].WIPDocApplicable
= [510_AllInvoicesCreditsInvWIP].No_
WITH OWNERACCESS OPTION;
I've checked the two subqueries referenced in the join (530a_WIPIncomeShareByResource and 510_AllInvoicesCreditsInvWIP) respectively, and these both execute fine and return data. Joining the two doesn't, however.
I'm anything but experienced with Access so would appreciate any pointers whatsoever!
Hi this is the code for the sub queries:
530a_WIPIncomeShareByResource:
SELECT [502_WIP_DocApplicable].No_ AS [Resource No_],
[502_WIP_DocApplicable].[Posting Date],
[502_WIP_DocApplicable].WIPDocApplicable,
[502_WIP_DocApplicable].WIPOpen,
Sum(IIf([Work Type code]<>"WRITEOFF"
And [Type]<>3
And [Work Type code]<>"DISBURSE"
And [Work Type code]<>"DIRRESP"
And [Work Type code]<>"TAXJ"
And [Work Type code]<>"INVMON"
And [Work Type code]<>"CUST"
And [NAVTCIWORKTYPE-FEETYPE.Disbursement]<>1,[WIPValue],0)) AS QualWIP,
Sum(IIf([Work Type code]="WRITEOFF",[WIPValue],0)) AS NonQualWOWIP,
Sum(IIf([Work Type code]="DISBURSE"
Or [Work Type code]="XTNLPERCEN"
Or [Type]=3
Or [NAVTCIWORKTYPE-FEETYPE.Disbursement]=1,[WIPValue],0)) AS DISBURSE,
Sum(IIf([Work Type code]="DIRRESP"
Or [Work Type code]="TAXJ"
Or [Work Type code]="INVMON"
Or [Work Type code]="CUST",[WIPValue],0)) AS FIXEDFEE,

FROM (510_AllInvoicesCredits LEFT JOIN 520a_WIPAnalysis1_WIP
ON [510_AllInvoicesCredits].No_ = [520a_WIPAnalysis1_WIP].WIPDocApplicable)
LEFT JOIN 520b_WIPAnalysis2_FT

WHERE ((([510_AllInvoicesCredits].REVERSED)<>1))
ORDER BY [510_AllInvoicesCredits].[Invoice Date1]
WITH OWNERACCESS OPTION;
This whole Access system is layer upon layer upon layer of queries. A real headache to decipher! the above do run just fine, however.
